The deadline for our weekly photo contest is 5 p.m. Monday.
Cupid has come and gone, but he has likely left behind proof of his visit. If you haven't entered our Valentine's Day photo contest yet, it's not too late. The deadline to upload photos in the contest is 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 18. Want to show us what you received or gave for Valentine's Day? Have some cute couple photos or pictures of the kids? If you haven't entered yet (or, if you'd like to enter more photos), simply click on this link and follow the easy instructions to upload. (Please make sure to follow the above link to enter the contest; while you are welcome to upload pictures here, this is not the contest page and therefore your photos won't count as an official entry.) The winner gets a $25 gift card to a local business. Good luck…

From a sewing machine to a can of air, women have received all kinds of bad gifts.
Depending on your view, Valentine's Day is either a fantastic holiday to show someone how much you care about them or a Hallmark holiday created to increase card sales. Whatever you think of the holiday, don't dare forget to give something to your loved ones. Last year we asked readers about the best Valentine's gift they ever received . Answers included a hand-cut silhouette and a favorite childhood book. This year we want to know what was the worst gift you ever received. A story posted on iVillage includes gifts such as a sewing machine, tickets to a death metal concert and even a poinsettia. Tell us what the worst gift you ever received was on the comments. What could have made t better?

What would be your perfect Valentine's Day gift?
Valentine's Day is almost upon us and there are lots of ways to show your loved ones you care. Whether it is in the form of flowers, chocolate, spa days, a touching card or a low-key dinner at home, the National Retail Federation is anticipating Americans will spend huge amounts of money this year on Valentine's Day treats - 17.6 billion to be exact. So it seems that the gift-giving aspect of the day is predicted to be bigger than ever this year. If you could pick out your perfect Valentine's Day gift, what would you ask Cupid for on Feb. 14? If your favorite is not listed in the poll, tell us in the comments below.
